December Farm Update

Hi friends,

Better late than never: MERRY CHRISTMAS and a Happy New Year :).

I am on my annual 7 week social-media fast…. but I always leave leeway for email updates during the break 😉.

​

Here is what’s happening behind the scenes (with 2 books I am loving right now at 30% off).

This month I learned how to use my meat saw. This one is on sale for $80 off right now.

​

(nope, I’m not earning commissions on that link, but if sharing about the discount helped you you can buy me a coffee with some of your savings.😉)

BUTCHERING (the lamb and goat version) has been my go-to as I slowly learn butchering side of shepherding.

​Buy the book for 30% off (and free shipping) HERE.​

Lambing season kicked off (yep, winter lambing is a Texas advantage). Twinning rate is way up and ewe lambs are leading on a 9-1 ratio!

This is good news for those on my waitlist for ewe lambs!

I plan to open reservations for breeding stock in February.

​

Prayers for Lazarus (the little guy not standing) would be appreciated. I found him 1/2 frozen and the verdict is still out as to whether or not he will “come forth”.

It takes 12-18 gallons of quality milk to raise one lamb. (which translates to about $250 per lamb when I buy goat milk at retail)

Instead of buying milk, I use 2 dairy goats to build up a milk bank over summer. These girls definitely earn their keep!

Raising Goats Naturally has been my favorite book for Dairy Goats. Buy the book for 30% off (and free shipping) HERE.​

Keep at it, everyone. ❤️
